Escala de avaliaÃÃo da capacidade para cuidar de crianÃas expostas ao HIV / Scale of evaluation of the capacity to take care of children displayed to the HIV

LÃa Maria Moura Barroso 18 December 2008 (has links)
nÃo hà / Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa construir uma escala de avaliaÃÃo da capacidade para cuidar de crianÃas expostas ao HIV (EACCC-HIV); elaborar itens e dimensÃes e avaliar as propriedades psicomÃtricas em termos de validade e confiabilidade do instrumento. A validade de conteÃdo da EACCC-HIV foi verificada pela concordÃncia entre os juÃzes (opiniÃo de cinco especialistas) e a anÃlise semÃntica por um professor de portuguÃs e tÃcnica de brainstorming. Na validade do construto comparou-se os grupos contrastados. Para a confiabilidade da escala utilizaram-se o alfa de cronbach e o teste-reteste. A pesquisa foi do tipo metodolÃgica com abordagem quantitativa, realizada em duas unidades de referÃncia no atendimento de crianÃas expostas ao HIV em Fortaleza-CE. A amostra aplicada no piloto foi constituÃda de 26 cuidadores de crianÃas expostas ao HIV. Quanto ao desenvolvimento metodolÃgico, ocorreu de fevereiro a outubro de 2008, e neste foram utilizados como instrumentos a escala inicial com 55 itens, a escala para o piloto com 70 itens e os formulÃrios para avaliaÃÃo com os juÃzes. Conforme os resultados revelaram, nos 55 itens iniciais uma concordÃncia de 98,5% (p=0,470) entre os juÃzes. No entanto, 32 itens foram mantidos, um excluÃdo e 16 incluÃdos, ficando o total de 70 itens para aplicaÃÃo no piloto. ApÃs a anÃlise semÃntica, 14 itens foram reformulados. Com 70 itens, o instrumento piloto foi aplicado na amostra de 26 cuidadores de crianÃas expostas ao HIV. A maioria dos cuidadores tinha entre 20 e 29 anos; convivia com o parceiro, a metade tinha o ensino fundamental completo e incompleto, grande parte estava desempregada e recebia menos de um salÃrio mÃnimo. Nos grupos contrastados, identificou-se nÃo ter havido associaÃÃo estatisticamente significante entre a variÃvel renda e 49 itens da escala. Existiu, porÃm, associaÃÃo significante ou valor limÃtrofe em sete itens (p<0,05). Neste caso sugere-se a variÃvel renda na aplicaÃÃo desta escala em outras pesquisas. A confiabilidade pelo alfa de cronbach apresentou valor total de 0,954 e p=0,0001. Portanto, houve consistÃncia interna dos itens, mas para o teste-reteste nÃo foi possÃvel realizar testes estatÃsticos. Na segunda fase com os juÃzes, o alfa de cronbach total para claridade, relaÃÃo dimensÃo-item e relevÃncia obteve-se o valor de 0,800 e p=0,0001, demonstrando concordÃncia entre eles. Contudo, na anÃlise para a claridade do item nÃo se observou equivalÃncia (&#945;=0,110 e p=0,262) e alguns itens do instrumento foram reformulados ou excluÃdos. Elaborou-se no final a EACCC-HIV com 52 itens e cinco dimensÃes. ApÃs a realizaÃÃo do estudo, obteve-se um instrumento confiÃvel capaz de avaliar a capacidade para cuidar de crianÃas expostas ao HIV. Este poderà ser usado amplamente na clÃnica e na pesquisa, e assim, contribuirà para a realizaÃÃo de estudos futuros com esta temÃtica. Sugere-se, ainda, a aplicaÃÃo da EACCC-HIV em amostras maiores e com testes de associaÃÃo com as variÃveis maternas e infantis, a fim de verificar a confiabilidade e a validade do instrumento com novos pesquisadores e chegar a uma escala estÃvel e replicÃvel / It was objectified with this research to construct a scale of evaluation of the capacity to take care of children displayed to HIV (EACCC-HIV); to elaborate item and dimensions and to evaluate the psychometric properties in validity terms and trustworthiness of the instrument. The validity of content of the EACCC-HIV was verified by the agreement enters the judges (opinion of five specialists) and the semantics analysis by Portuguese teacher and technique of Brainstorming. In the validity of construct were compared the contrasted groups. For the trustworthiness of the scale the Alpha of Cronbach and the test-retest had been used. The research was of the methodological type with quantitative boarding, carried through in two units of reference in the attendance of children displayed to the HIV in Fortaleza-CE. The sample applied in the pilot was constituted of 26 caregivers of children displayed to the HIV. How much to the methodological development, occurred of February to October of 2008, and in this had been used as instruments the initial scale with 55 item, the scale for the pilot with 70 item and the forms for evaluation with the judges. As the results had disclosed, in the 55 initial item an agreement of 98,5% (p=0,470) between the judges. However, 32 item had been kept, one excluded and 16 enclosed ones, being the total of 70 item for application in the pilot. After the semantics analysis, 14 item had been reformulated. With 70 item, the pilot instrument was applied in the sample of 26 caregivers of children displayed to the HIV. The majority of the caregivers had between 20 and 29 years; it coexisted the partner, the half had complete basic education and incomplete, great part was dismissed and received less from one minimum wage. In the contrasted groups, it was identified that not to have had statistical significant association between the changeable income and 49 item of the scale. It existed, however, significant association or bordering value in seven item (p<0,05). In this in case that it is suggested changeable income in the application of this scale in other research. The trustworthiness for the Alpha of Cronbach presented total value of 0,954 and p=0,0001. Therefore, it had internal consistency of the item, but for the test-retest it was not possible to carry through statistical tests. In the second phase with the judges, the total Alpha of Cronbach for clarity, relation dimension-item and relevance got the value of 0,800 and p=0.0001, demonstrating agreement between them. However, in the analysis for the clarity of the item equivalence was not observed (&#945;=0,110 and p=0,262) and some item of the instrument had been reformulated or excluded. It was elaborated in the end the EACCC-HIV with 52 item and five dimensions. After the accomplishment of the study, got a trustworthy instrument capable to evaluate the capacity to take care of children displayed to the HIV. This could widely be used in the clinic and in the research, and, thus, it will contribute for the accomplishment of future studies with this thematic one. It is suggested, still, the application of the EACCC-HIV in bigger samples and with tests of association with the infantile and maternal variable and, in order to verify the trustworthiness and the validity of the instrument with new researchers and to arrive at a steady and reapplicable scale

Sujeitos e Métodos: coorte histórica de 452 gestações e seus recém-nascidos. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários e registrados em fichas específicas. Crianças sem seguimento foram convocadas para definição diagnóstica. Análise dos dados: análise descritiva através de distribuição percentual e de médias; teste de X², exato de Fisher, t de Student, Mann-Whitney e ANOVA, razão de risco e intervalo de confiança. Resultados: A TV foi de 3,6%. A idade média das gestantes foi 27 anos; principal categoria de exposição foi a sexual (86,5%); 55% já apresentava o diagnóstico prévio à gravidez. Sessenta e dois por cento não estavam em uso de TARV ao engravidar. CD4 médio inicial foi de 474 células/ml e 70.3% apresentaram carga viral indetectável no terceiro trimestre. Como TARV, 55% usaram esquemas com IP e 35% com nevirapina. Monoterapia com AZT foi utilizada em 5,5%. Idade gestacional média no parto foi de 37,2 semanas e em 92% a via foi cesárea; 97,2% receberam AZT endovenoso. Os fatores associados à TV foram: baixa contagem de CD4, elevada carga viral, tempo reduzido de TARV, presença de alterações gestacionais (anemia, RCF, oligoâmnio), coinfecções durante o pré-natal (CMV e toxoplasmose) e presença de trabalho de parto. Uso de TARV potente, parto por cesárea e uso do AZT pelo RN foram fatores protetores. Má adesão ao tratamento esteve presente em 13 dos 15 casos infectados; em sete houve presença de coinfecção neonatal (CMV e toxoplasmose). Conclusão: Fatores de risco para TV foram comprometimento do estado imunológico da gestante, menor tempo de terapia, coinfecções (CMV e toxoplasmose) e presença de trabalho de parto. O uso de TARV potente e a realização de cesárea foram fatores protetores para a TV do HIV. / Abstract: Objectives: to evaluate mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates and related factors in HIV-infected pregnant women from CAISM/UNICAMP between 2000 and 2009. Subjects and methods: cohort of 452 HIV-infected pregnant women and their newborns. Data was collected from recorded files and undiagnosed children were enrolled for investigation. Statistical analysis: qui-square test, Fisher exact test, Student t test, Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA, risk ratio and confidence intervals. Results: MTCT occurred in 3.6%. The study population displayed a mean age of 27 years; 86.5% were found to have acquired HIV through sexual contact; 55% were aware of the diagnosis prior to the pregnancy; 62% were not using HAART. Mean CD4 cell-count was 474 cells/ml and 70.3% had undetectable viral loads in the third trimester. HAART included nevirapine in 35% of cases and protease inhibitors in 55%; Zidovudine monotherapy was used in 5.5%. Mean gestational age at delivery was 37.2 weeks and in 92% by caesarian section; 97.2% received intravenous zidovudine. Implicated factors related to MTCT were: low CD4 cell counts, elevated viral loads, maternal aids, shorter periods receiving HAART, maternal concurring illnesses (anemia, IUGR, oligodydramnium), coinfections (CMV and toxoplasmosis) and the occurrence of labor. Use of HAART for longer periods, caesarian delivery and oral zidovudine for the newborns were associated with a decreased risk. Poor adhesion to treatment was present in 13 of the 15 cases of transmission; in 7, co-infections were diagnosed (CMV and toxoplasmosis). Conclusion: Use of HAART and caesarian delivery are protective factors in mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Maternal coinfecctions and maternal concurring illnesses were risk factors for MTCT. / Universidade Estadual de Campi / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Tocoginecologia

Identifying interventions to improve outcome of the South African prevention of mother-to-child transmission programme.

Lilian, Rivka Rochel 28 March 2014 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Medicine, Johannesburg , 2013 / South Africa’s Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programme is critical for eliminating vertical HIV transmission and reducing infant mortality. Early treatment of HIV-infection to curb infant deaths requires earlier diagnostic testing than the currently recommended six-week test. This study describes the continuum of PMTCT care at a Johannesburg hospital to identify interventions for improvement and investigates birth HIV testing for infants. Data from a cohort study at the hospital evaluating diagnostic assays in HIV-exposed infants were collated with routine clinical data, validated and analysed. Among 838 mother-infant pairs, 38% of mothers attended antenatal clinics early enough to receive optimal antenatal prophylaxis. Only 72% of infants accessed six-week testing at the hospital; a further 10% underwent testing elsewhere. Of 38 HIV-infected infants, 29 were infected in-utero and could have been identified at birth (sensitivity of 76.3% for birth testing), compared to only 26 (68%) diagnosed by six-week testing at the hospital. Majority (88%) of these 26 infants accessed antiretroviral therapy, but treatment was only initiated at a median age of 16.0 weeks and 43% of HIV-infected infants who initiated treatment had defaulted or died before the end of the study. Mathematical modelling demonstrated that birth testing would be superior to a six-week test to maximise infants diagnosed and life years saved, with the ideal algorithm being a birth and ten-week test. The PMTCT programme can be enhanced by earlier antenatal care for women and earlier infant diagnosis. Birth testing would diagnose HIV-infection before infants die or default from the PMTCT programme, thereby enabling effective monitoring of MTCT, and would allow earlier treatment initiation to reduce early infant mortality.

AvaliaÃÃo das aÃÃes de controle da transmissÃo vertical do HIV/AIDS entre puÃrperas atendidas em uma maternidade de Fortaleza-ce. / Evaluation of the actions of control of the vertical transmission of the HIV/AIDS between postpartum women taken care in a fortaleza-ce maternity

LÃa Maria Moura Barroso 24 August 2005 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / As mulheres em idade fÃrtil tÃm sido alvo da contaminaÃÃo pelo vÃrus da imunodeficiÃncia adquirida (HIV), o que requer atenÃÃo especial, principalmente na gestaÃÃo, pois hà o risco da transmissÃo vertical (TV) do HIV. A terapia combinada de alta potÃncia se mostrou decisiva na reduÃÃo da taxa de TV, porÃm as medidas de controle nÃo sÃo satisfatÃrias. Objetivou-se avaliar as aÃÃes de controle da TV do HIV em uma maternidade pÃblica. Trata-se de pesquisa do tipo descritiva, exploratÃria e avaliativa. Para abordagem do estudo utilizou-se a complementaridade da pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa. Coletou-se os dados na Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand (MEAC), localizada em Fortaleza-CearÃ, no perÃodo de setembro a dezembro de 2004. A populaÃÃo do estudo constou de oito puÃrperas com infecÃÃo pelo HIV e oito profissionais que prestaram assistÃncia a estas puÃrperas. Utilizou-se como tÃcnicas de coleta de dados a observaÃÃo estruturada e a entrevista, que seguiram um roteiro de observaÃÃo estruturada e um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados e dispostos em tabelas; e os qualitativos analisados e organizados atravÃs da proposta de anÃlise de conteÃdo. Obedeceu-se os aspectos Ãticos da pesquisa com seres humanos, uma vez que todos os sujeitos assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. A maioria das puÃrperas tinha entre 22 e 29 anos, era solteira, com uniÃo estÃvel e procedente do interior, possuÃa baixa escolaridade, tinha entre um e dois filhos; sabia do diagnÃstico a menos de um ano, informou seis ou mais consultas de prÃ-natal e participou de acompanhamento especializado. Pouca parcela das gestantes iniciou a terapia anti-retroviral no perÃodo recomendado e sabia informar sobre a sorologia do parceiro. A maternidade disponibilizou o tratamento para todas as gestantes no momento do trabalho de parto e no parto. Seis profissionais de saÃde que prestava assistÃncia era enfermeiro, encontrava-se entre 26 e 49 anos de idade, a maioria fez referÃncia ao tempo de formaÃÃo entre um e nove anos e de trabalho na maternidade entre um e 15 anos; a minoria recebeu algum tipo de treinamento sobre TV. Identificou-se que os profissionais de saÃde deixaram de realizar aconselhamento e orientaÃÃes sobre preparo da fÃrmula infantil, alimentos e seguimento do recÃm-nascido, sobre consulta puerperal e adesÃo ao tratamento. A instituiÃÃo tinha quantidade insuficiente de alguns insumos, como atadura e inibidor de lactaÃÃo, e centralizava o preenchimento das fichas de investigaÃÃo no nÃcleo de vigilÃncia epidemiolÃgica. Estes resultados nortearÃo o planejamento de intervenÃÃes para futuras aÃÃes, com vistas à melhoria da qualidade na assistÃncia Ãs gestantes com HIV/aids. Sugere-se a criaÃÃo de uma estrutura organizacional e funcional para a implementaÃÃo de protocolos, capacitaÃÃes, reuniÃes de avaliaÃÃo, atuaÃÃo responsÃvel dos enfermeiros, determinaÃÃo de fluxo de atendimento e elaboraÃÃo de um manual direcionado aos profissionais de saÃde. / The women in fertile age have been target of the contamination for the HIV, what it requires special attention, mainly in the gestation, therefore there is the risk of the vertical transmission (VT) of the HIV. The agreed therapy of high power showed decisive in the reduction of the VT tax, however the measures of control are not satisfactory. It was objectified to evaluate the actions of control the VT of the HIV in a public maternity. One is about research, descriptive, exploratory and avaliative type. For boarding of the study it was used complementation of the qualitative and quantitative research. The data were collected in Assis Chateaubriand School Maternity (MEAC), located in Fortaleza-CearÃ, in period of September to December of 2004. The populationâs study consisted of eight postpartum women with infection for the HIV and eight professionals who had given assistance to these postpartum women. The structuralized or standardized comment and the interview were used as techniques. As instruments for the dataâs collection, a script of structuralized comment and a script of half-structuralized interview. The quantitative data had been analyzed and made use in figures; end the qualitative ones analyzed and organized through the proposal of content analysis. It obeyed the ethical aspects of the research with human beings and all the subjects had signed the term of free and clarified assent. The majority of postpartum women had between 22 and 29 years, was single, with steady union, and originating the country, there was low study, had between one and two children; it known of the diagnosis to less of one year, informed six or more prenatalâs consultations of and participated of specialized accompaniment. Little parcel of the pregnant initiated the antiretroviral therapy in the recommended period and to inform about partnerâs serology. The maternity disposed the treatment for all the pregnant women at the moment of the childbirth work and in the childbirth. The majority of the health professionals that gave assistance was nurse, between 26 and 49 years and make reference at time of formation between one and nine years and of work in the maternity between one and 15 years; the minority received some type of training about VT. It was identified that professionals of health had left to realized advice and orientation about preparation of the infantile formula, foods and pursuing of the new-born, about puerperal consultation and adhesion to the treatment. The institution had insufficient amount of some resourchs and centered the fulfilling of the inquiry fiches. It was concluded that these results will guide in the planning of interventions for future actions, with sights to the improvement of the quality in the assistance to the pregnant women with HIV/aids. It is suggested creation of a organizacional and functional structure for the implementation of the protocol, qualifications, meetings of evaluation, responsible performance of the nurses, determination of attendance flow and elaboration of a manual directed to the professionals of health.

Prevalência e fatores associados às alterações neurocognitivas em adultos infectados com HIV-1 via transmissão vertical / Prevalence and associated factors with neurocognitive disorders in adults vertically infected with HIV-1

Silvany, Sarah Moura 03 April 2019 (has links)
As alterações neurocognitivas associadas ao HIV-1 (HAND) são frequentes em adultos infectados pelo HIV-1 via transmissão sexual. Existe pouca informação sobre HAND em adultos infectados pelo HIV-1 via transmissão vertical. Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar a prevalência das HAND em adultos infectados por transmissão vertical assim como identificar a prevalência de depressão nessa população. Pacientes e métodos: trata-se de um estudo de delineamento transversal, realizado entre janeiro 2016 e maio de 2017, no Serviço de Extensão ao Atendimento de Pacientes HIV/aids (SEAP) da Divisão de Moléstias Infecciosas e Parasitárias do Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. O SEAP é um serviço exclusivamente ambulatorial, localizado na cidade de São Paulo. Os critérios de inclusão foram: (i) pacientes com diagnóstico de infecção pelo HIV-1 por transmissão vertical; (ii) idade igual ou superior a 18 anos; (iii) escolaridade mínima de 4 anos; e (iv) consentimento para participar do estudo. Os critérios de exclusão foram: (i) diagnóstico concomitante de doenças neurológicas oportunistas ou condições neurológicas, previamente documentadas; (ii) uso de substâncias psicoativas; (iii) incapacidade física para aplicação dos testes, (iv) recusa da assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisa: questionário sociodemográfico, escala de ansiedade e depressão hospitalar, escala de atividades de vida diária de Lawton e bateria neuropsicológica formal. Para análise estatística foram calculadas frequência, média e desvio padrão, assim como testes qui-quadrado, anova e análise posthoc. Valores de p < 0.05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. Foi utilizado o programa SPSS 21.0. Resultados: foram avaliados 28 participantes: 15 (53.6%) foram do sexo feminino e a idade média e o desvio padrão (DP) foi de 22 (6.7) anos. Foi identificado HAND em 23 (82,1%) pacientes: 12 (42.9%) tiveram alteração neurocognitiva assintomática (ANI), 6 (21,4%) tiveram comprometimento neurocognitivo leve (MND) e 5 (17.9%) tiveram demência associada ao HIV-1 (HAD). A atenção, velocidade de processamento e velocidade motora foram as funções cognitivas mais comprometidas. 3 (10.7%) pacientes apresentaram depressão; 3 (60%) dos 5 pacientes com HAD apresentaram depressão. Conclusões: neste estudo encontramos elevada prevalência de HAND em adultos infectados pelo HIV-1 via transmissão vertical, chamando atenção também a elevada proporção de pacientes com HAD. Por outro lado, identificamos baixa prevalência de depressão na população total do estudo, mas a prevalência de depressão foi elevada dentre os pacientes com HAD / Neurocognitive disorders associated with HIV-1 (HAND) are common in adults sexually infected with HIV-1. There is little information about HAND in adults vertically infected with HIV-1. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of HAND in adults vertically infected with HIV-1 as well as to identify the prevalence of depression in this population. Patients and methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted between January 2016 and May 2017, at the Extension Service for HIV/aids Patients (SEAP) of the Division of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of the Hospital das Clínicas of University of São Paulo Medical School. SEAP is an exclusively outpatient service, located in the city of São Paulo. Inclusion criteria were: (i) patients diagnosed with HIV-1 infected by vertical transmission; (ii) age equal to or more than 18 years; (iii) minimum schooling of 4 years; and (iv) consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria were: (i) concomitant diagnosis of opportunistic neurological diseases or neurological conditions, previously documented; (ii) use of psychoactive substances; (iii) physical incapacity to apply the tests, (iv) refusal to sign the Free and Informed Consent Form. The following research assessment tools were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, hospital anxiety and depression scale, Lawton daily life activity scale and formal neuropsychological battery. For statistical analysis, we calculated frequency, mean and standard deviation, as well as chi-square, anova and post-hoc analysis. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The SPSS 21.0 program was used. Results: 28 participants were evaluated: 15 (53.6%) were female and the mean age and standard deviation (SD) were 22 (6.7) years. HAND was identified in 23 (82.1%) patients: 12 (42.9%) had asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI), 6 (21.4%) had mild neurocognitive impairment and 5 (17.9%) had dementia associated with HIV-1 (HAD). Attention, processing speed and motor speed were the most compromised cognitive functions. 3 (10.7%) patients presented depression; 3 (60%) of the 5 patients with HAD had depression. Conclusions: in this study we found a high prevalence of HAND in adults vertically infected, also calling attention to the high proportion of patients with HAD. On the other hand, we identified a low prevalence of depression in the total study population, but the prevalence of depression was high among patients with HAD
